PLEASE RATE AND COMMENT. Here is P42DC#66. First part of the Aftermath. Amtrak Crescent #19 struck a dumptruck in Catlett, VA. The driver was fortunate and escaped with no injuries. He was charged with failing to yield to the train and is temporarily suspended from the company. Enjoy. Sorry if the quality is bad. I had to record with my cell phone.

  • Sucks. . . about the P42 No. 66. My son just saw it. He was in inside the cab and he was sad to see it looking like this. .

  • True. There us good news about it though. P42DC #66 is back in service now. After some minor repairs, she is runnin the rails again.

  • Thanks for putting these up I was on the train that night!

  • You're welcome. Wow! What an experience. I'm thankful that there were no fatalities. The dumptruck driver is very lucky and should be super thankful that he is alive.

  • Same here! We barely felt a thing except for a few jerking motions. I KNEW we had hit something because on a previous connection from Albany NY to NYC, my train hit a truck and almost sent it into the Hudson. By any chance did you get any pics of the dump truck?

  • Nope. Unfortunately, they had the scene cleared way before I got there.

  • The P40's and P42's are garbage. Especially with crossing collisions, they are too lite and are always derailing when they hit anything big. Think about how common this scene is lately. Now how many F40's and P30's and SDP40's have you ever seen like this? Not many. They need to get rid of these locomotives!

  • Thanks again!

  • Ouch lol. That looked like a P40 in the Ph-IV Scheme. The P40s are crap compared to their sisters (P42DC). The P40 actually has a very flimsy frame. The P42DC has a reinforced bolt-on nose plate. Look closley at the nose shots in my videos and you will see what I mean.

  • Look up Amtrak vs Garbage Truck and check that video out...
